DUBAI: Garbine Muguruza ended the gallant run of Barbora Krejcikova in the final of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships on Saturday night, beating her 7-6(6) 6-3 to claim the eighth title of her career.
The past three finals have also featured one unseeded player, with Daria Kasatkina in 2018 and Elena Rybakina in 2020 also finishing as runner-up, and with Belinda Bencic winning the title in 2019.
“It was a tricky match,” said Muguruza. “I didn’t have a feel for her. We never practiced together, we never played before. I had to work so hard in the first set. The difference was one point and I m happy it went my way. I think she played great. She’s a very talented player, good hands, good baseline game and I m happy I was stronger today.”
